I've had my Blue Gourami for about four or five months and she was fine. She resides in a tall 30 gallon tank with a school of Zebra Danios, a couple tetras, two Australian Rainbowfish, a Creamsicle molly, a balloon molly, a Redtail Shark, and a Pleco.

Recently, I've noticed that on areas of her body, she has red streaks and blotches when exposed to light. She's tending to stay near the top of the tank with her back end floating and she's only inching forward to swim. She was doing wonderfully with all of the fish and I've just noticed these problems in the past couple of days.

Is it a fungal or bacterial infection?

Please help.

Quick Edit - It seems like her whole back half is brownish red and unresponsive. She's not using her rear end to swim at all, just pushing forward very slowly. Someone please help, it's a little scary and I want to treat it as soon as possible.
